Bill Summary

Sets forth the rule for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 118) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of Family Assistance of the Administration for Children and Families of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to waiver and expenditure authority under section 1115 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1315) with respect to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program; providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 3409) to limit the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulations before December 31, 2013, under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977; and providing for proceedings during the period from September 22, 2012, through November 12, 2012.

AI Summary

This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two specific pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives: H.J. Res. 118, which aims to disapprove a rule from the Department of Health and Human Services concerning how states can use federal funds for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, a program designed to help low-income families; and H.R. 3409, a bill that would restrict the Secretary of the Interior's ability to issue regulations related to mining before a certain date. The Resolution also outlines procedures for House proceedings during a specific period from September 22, 2012, to November 12, 2012, including how the House will adjourn and how bills introduced during that time will be handled. Importantly, the Resolution waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," to ensure these measures can be considered and voted on more efficiently, and it limits the time for debate on each.
